We pretty much had the perfect Christmas Day. It’s true.
My family came up for a couple of days. (My brother, my sister and her hubby, and my mom)
At 2:00 am on Christmas day, it was pouring rain, so imagine our surprise when we woke up to a winter wonderland.
My mom and sister were enamored with my chickens, which I thought was so cute. So, they collected the eggs while I put the french toast casserole (with homemade bread) in the oven. (Actually, while they collected the eggs, I took pictures, and then put the casserole in the oven.)
Then we opened presents. My sister is a bit of an overachiever when it comes to wrapping gifts. She wrapped them all with pages out of old magazines such as Real Simple. Aren’t they awesome?
After gift opening, I put the prime rib in the oven and we set off to enjoy the amazing sledding hills. Seriously, what could be more fun on a Christmas afternoon?
Isn’t my mom adorable in her hat with her red sled?
We came back to a lovely dinner with my strawberry tablecloth and napkins and my red dishes. (I highly recommend getting married, you get lots of cool stuff. 
Including an a husband.)
After dinner, we sat around the table and read some verses and reflected on our many blessings, especially Christ. And then we sang Christmas carols around the table and we had so much fun that we decided to go caroling. (To my in-laws house about a minute away.)
And to top it all off, we made snow ice cream with eggnog. Yum! And played Strawberryland. What? You’ve never played Strawberryland? You’re missing out on some berry fun times.
It was such a fantastic day, I was overwhelmed with the beauty of it all! I am so blessed.
